ISTANBUL BILGI UNIVERSITY MA PROGRAM IN HISTORY

Students will be admitted for the 2012/2013 academic year. The Master's 
Program aims to provide students of diverse backgrounds a firm academic 
foundation geared towards conducting original research in the field of 
history with an emphasis on interdisciplinary methods and approaches. 
Application to the program is not limited to students with undergraduate 
degrees in history but is also open to those from related fields in the 
social sciences and humanities. International students are likewise 
encouraged to apply. Teaching and coursework are conducted in English. 
For those students who has a high degree of proficiency in a language 
other than Turkish but have only an intermediate command of English, 
deferment of admission for a year will be permissible contingent upon 
taking steps to acquire the necessary level of English during that year.

The two-year master's program focuses on the cultural and intellectual 
history of Turkey covering the medieval to contemporary periods. Since 
the field of cultural and intellectual history is particularly 
underrepresented in graduate programs in Turkish universities, the 
History Department at Istanbul Bilgi University offers a unique program 
both in terms of diverse and challenging coursework as well as research 
opportunities in the above field. With an emphasis on interaction with 
the teaching staff, the program encourages students to work in close 
collaboration with their advisors in both the classroom as well as on 
individual research projects.

It is possible to be admitted to the program as a special student. 
Scholarships are available.
